We've got to give Sterling a lot of credit. He was a starter last year and at times this season he has struggled to get on the floor but he has never seemed to get down. He's our most versatile player and will likely start getting more minutes as we go.

He will get JMart's minutes and start eating into Ben E.'s minutes considering how poorly Ben E has been shooting. My gosh he is ice cold.

With Keith gone he'll get all the minutes he wants.

better start developing an outside shot (currently 30%) and continue to make great cuts to the basket off the ball.

Its not like Keith hits jumpers on the road anyway. I am excited to see if we can get some more energy on O with Sterling in there more often.

either Sterling or Gu need to step up big time if this is going to have a chance.

I have confidence in Sterling. He may not have Keith's scoring ability or his flair for the dramatic but Sterling will get it done. Ben, Markus and Yannick can pick up the scoring and rebounding slack. And Ryan's contribution continues to improve.

In this weak conference we should be ok.

Another thought: Sterling, with his energy, may pump the crowd up a bit at Moody and help it get to last year's levels. We went nuts when people dove around on defense, and that could be a spark that Moody needs. More intensity from the players and filling that shawn williams rle might help.

I'm hoping for:

Nic
RM
Sterling
Markus
Yanick

If we continue to start BM and bring Markus off the bench I guess I'm fine with that too, Markus gets starters minutes and crunch time play anyway.

I guess Larry doesn't have to worry about PT issues anymore. Hopefully Ben E grows a lot as his role expands. I believe Sterling can step in and bring more with added responsibility. We saw flashes last year

Agree with you. I think Nick, RM, and BenE rotate at the guard, Brown and Moore at the 3, and the MK, Yanick, and Cannen underneath.

I think it gets MK in the starting lineup quicker and results in Cunningham getting more minutes.

agree except that Sterling and Ben Moore give us flexibility as those guys can play multiple positions
